Hahahahaha

Beautiful rose though Jordan. Amazing fragrance and HUGE blooms

yeah , ive ordered alexander through work i should get it next week sometimes

If I can put in a word, I have a new Abracadabra to replace one that died and so far it has given me 6 blooms and every one of them was dark red. So disappointing! The bush is potted in good quality potting mix and has also been fed, so it looks healthy, but where are my stripey roses?

yeah betty , unfortunatley AB is very unreliable and a weird rose at that , ive been lucky so far mine all have gave me what they meant to , so hopefully yours will do the same at some stage

My bush that died DID produce striped roses, to make matters worse. I live in hope though, there are a number of buds to open yet on the new bush. Oh, that reminds me, someone asked me was the striping in roses caused by a virus, like it was in some other plant she mentioned, I'll have to go back and check what that was. Does anyone know about the roses?
